Asked about the season by TV Guide, Harrison replied: "It was an okay season. It wasn't great, and I put that on us. I don't think we performed our best."

The host acknowledged that the show had not performed particularly well in the ratings, saying: "All I can take my cue from is the ratings, and the ratings weren't great.

"To put it in sports terms, it's not a good game, but you score a couple of runs in the bottom of the ninth. It's not one of those wins you celebrate, you just go straight to the bus and go home."

However, Harrison explained that he is not particularly worried about the show, saying: "We've been doing this for 11 years, and you're not going to be spectacular every time. The fact is, you can have an off season, but the ending was phenomenal, so we ended on a high note.

"Again, you don't always have your A-game, but it doesn't mean you lose, and it doesn't mean you're done. We're far from being irrelevant."
